Knowledge management – an instrument for successfully mastering processes of change

Abstract: Four hundred years ago, an English scientist and philosopher, Francis Bacon, coined the phrase ‘Knowledge is power’, a maxim which has remained applicable to this day. This, then as now, astute perception has grown in relevance in view of what is becoming an ever more complicated world, with accelerating processes of change in all fields of knowledge. The transfer of knowledge as an institutionally anchored ability to utilise human resources therefore needs to be a firm and compulsory part of corporate culture. The competitive edge thereby achieved determines the necessary speed of change and thus the striven-for corporate success over the long term.
